SOUTH African 7s speedster Rosko Specman will return to the McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s in January next year.
Specman will make his third appearance at the tournament in which he was named an inductee of the 2026 Rugbytown Walk of Fame.
In this year’s competition, he was a brand ambassador for the tournament alongside New Zealand All Blacks women’s 7s player Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.
Next year, he will feature in the McDonald’s Mike Friday Select 7s side, a team that features some of the biggest names in the abbreviated version of rugby.
Joining him from South Africa are Springboks 7s greats such as Branco du Preez and Justin Geduld; a trio of speedsters whose dominance on the field helped continue the renowned dominance of the South Africans in the world sevens arena.
Now, Specman joins them in Sigatoka next January to give fans in Fiji a chance to see the trio in action.
The South African trio will join French 7s star Terry Bouhraqua, Australian powerhouse Pama Fou in the Mike Friday Select 7s side, which sees the renowned coach guide another class of esteemed 7s ruggers towards the chance to win the tournament next year.
It becomes an even critical task for Friday, whose team will vie for the coveted Coral Coast 7s men’s title after falling short in the semi-finals.
The 2027 McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s marks its 15th edition at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka from January 14-16 2027, with free entry for all patrons throughout the tournament.
